Flynn. will be presented as a special prolluetinn at the Veteran Star Theatre tO-mnr- row anel Saturday night. September 1st and 2nd. ’l‘im leading i-nie is as- sumed bV the stalwart Maurice Flynn While the daintv EVa Novak has the feminine lead. and the statuesque Rosemary Theby appears in a prom- inent part. The story of "The Last Trail” 18 built upon the operations of a lone bandit. known as the “Night Hawk,” and contains intensely dramatic sit- uations. threaded by a love romance unusual in its (.lex'elopn'ient. , The great, climax at the close of the story involves the criminal breaking of a big dam on the mountain and the consequent flooding and destruction of a village far. below. The making of these scenesâ€"for which both vil- lage and concrete dam were con- stmctedâ€"is said to haw been a task invoking large expenditme of time labOr and monex.

The first game played on this continent took plase in this country and the development of the game here has gone forward with rapid strides. To-day the Do- minion is dotted with links noted for their excellence from St. An- drews-by-the Sea in New Brunswick, to Vancouver in British Columbia. Guests are welcome everywhere and United States experts like “Chick" Evans and Oswald Kirby are unaniâ€" mous in declaring that the’ quality of Canadian golf is very high. Cana- da’s first club was the “oyal Mont- real founded in 1873 a out fifteen years before St. Andrews Golf Club, the first in the United States. was started in Yonkers, N.Y.

"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur‘s Court." is a 1~i’)llicking and inconsequent.farce; and writing, as now I must, after two hours of more or less continuâ€" ous laughter, 1 do not. feel inclined to find in this delightful production a text for anything in the nature of a sermon. It is sheer delicious fool- ing. “The story is based on Mark Twain’s book. and the plot has been modernized, so that we get knights driving in automobiles of “1921 mddel,” Arthur’s hosts mounted on motorcycles, the hero ringing up the heroine on the ’phone. references to ‘dry’ America, and sentiments ex- pressed in the latest New York slang. Yet the adapter has so caught the spirit of the book that the humor is Mark Twain‘s e.ven,though the language and the action belong, thus. to to-day. ‘ “The sub-titles (i. e., "the words thrown upon the screen) are a de- lighl throughout; and the robust slang. has been handled with such art. that there is a sort of subtle and delicate drollery in it which keeps the uuilimce couvulsml.

St. Andrews is not a name to be taken lightly, and when Sir William Van Horne and Lord Shaughnessy had the 6,100 yard New Brunswick links laid out, they made it worthy of its great Scotch namesake, the mother links of the golf world. Many of the holes are on sloping ground with the pic- turesque panorama of the bay'in one ‘direction, and the green forests in another. In addition to the regular 18-holes, there is a 9-holes course for ladies and the Algonquin is head- quarters _£or golfers.
